Tiger Shadow was created after Jim & Komla entered their first collaborations into a Sandman magazine competition, which resulted
in the band's first ever gigs being played at the Leeds & Reading Festivals on the BBC Introducing stage in 2008. They have
also played the Big Chill Festival, Leeds Unity Day, a live set for BBC Raw Talent, and were in the final 12 out of 1600 acts
for the Emerging Talent Competition to play Glastonbury in 2010.
